System And Method For Evaluating Material In Rotary Motion - Systems and methods evaluate material in rotary motion. Exposure duration is calculated based upon an intensity of radiation incident upon a sample area of the material and a desired radiation exposure for the material. Angular velocity for a rotational stage is calculated based upon the sample area, the calculated exposure duration, and an initial position of a linear stage. The initial position of the linear stage, the initial velocity of the linear stage, and the initial angular velocity of the rotational stage are set and a radiation generator is activated. The system then waits for time to read the next data sample based upon the calculated exposure duration and a fluorescence level of the material is determined. Angular velocity of the rotational stage and linear velocity of the linear stage are controlled based upon positional sensors to capture data from all areas of the material at the desired radiation exposure.
